ALL MIXED UP World Premiere Debuts at Prop Theatre
The World Premiere of All Mixed Up by John J. Enright, the writer of O'Brien & O'Brian, debuts at the Prop Theatre.

Although Beth and Carrie agreed to have a mixed-race baby, Beth secretly sought a black donor. The situation is all mixed up - even if the baby isn't!

All Mixed Up's design team will be Denise Smolarek (scenic and costume design) and Xavier Lagunas (lighting and sound design). The production stage manager will be Xavier Lagunas. Jillian Leff is fight choreographer.
